The ship mathematical model is a Manoeuvrability and Seakeeping model integration, that allow to calculate the six degrees of freedom (Surge, Sway, Heave, Roll, Pitch, Yaw). Moreover, to complete the scenario definition, other type of agent and environment situation could be simulated.
The simulation model is designed to be “open” and configurable for all type of ship (cruise, bulk carrier, petrol, LNG, container ship…) and for all environmental scenarios (map, sea state, wind, sea current, time of day…).
A different type of vessels can easily simulate by the provided mathematical model, and every ship can be specified by a wide set of characteristics i.e.

hull data
engine type (diesel, diesel-electrical, turbine, or every combination of them)
propulsion (azimuth, fixed/controllable pitch propeller, POD, water-jet)
thruster
rudder (simple type, compound butt, under hung deep horn, shallow horn, spade)

Furthermore a large of environmental effects are taken in to account, allowing a more accurate and realistic vessel simulation. The user can chose the environmental condition throw a set of sea state, wind intensity and sea current. Seakeeping and Manoeuvrability are also accurately implemented in order to simulate:

shallow water effects
navigation in narrow channel
collisions
anchor and chain

During simulation all data are saved and automatically composed in to a spreadsheet useful to review the exercise or debriefing time.
Here is a short list of features and data taken into account during simulations.
